If youre looking for the ideal car to hit the cruise nights this summerand#44; what could be better than a rockin early Camaro? Sporting a muscle-bound small blockand#44; awesome paintand#44; and lots of upgradesand#44; this bright red 1968 Chevrolet Camaro is ready to have fun. Nobody can argue that the early Camarosand#44; with their smooth looks and minimum of fussy ornamentationand#44; were not awesome-looking cars. Heckand#44; GM itself practically started reproducing the things with the latest generation of F-bodiesand#44; but even they dont quite hold the appeal that cars like this 68 hardtop do. A good amount of time and effort was invested in making this slick SS hardtop look like it doesand#44; and you can instantly tell that this wasnt built in some guys garage. Niceand#44; straight panels and decent fit and finish make it appealing in person and a delight to park in your own garage. Code R Matador Red is this cars original colorand#44; so when it was time to repaint itand#44; thats what went on and it looks fantastic. Its also wearing a cowl-induction hood that says Muscle Car on its flanks (as if this could be anything else?) as well as a traditional ducktail spoiler out back. A black strip around the nose is a classic styling touchand#44; and with nice chrome bumpers and two-element taillightsand#44; it has a proper high-performance look. Camaro interiors are always well-designedand#44; and the guts of this hardtop have been freshened without erasing the factory look. Reproduction seat covers were installed a while ago and show some wearand#44; but the durable materials will probably look good for years to come. Its possible that the door panels may very well be nicely preserved originals and soft parts like the carpetand#44; headlinerand#44; and dash pad are probably recent. The matching red center console works quite nicely with all the fresh upholstery and youll note that this car is equipped with factory A/Cand#44; which now has modern hardware working behind the scenes. The factory gauges remain in those deeply recessed binnaclesand#44; with a tach strapped to the tilt steering column and an auxiliary temperature gauge under the dashand#44; along with the optional gauges on the center console. The original AM radio remains in the dashand#44; the trunk is neatly finished with spatter paintand#44; and it carries a full-sized spare. Thats the originaland#44; numbers-matching 327 cubic inch V8 living under the hoodand#44; which is always a nice benefitand#44; especially in a 68 which can be notoriously difficult to document. The smooth-running small block offers an Edelbrock intake and 4-barrel carburetorand#44; MSD ignitionand#44; as well as a set of satin black dress-up parts that look purposeful. The block itself is painted correct Chevy Orangeand#44; and it has been fitted with a modern billet aluminum accessory system with a serpentine belt and new alternator and A/C compressor. A set of long-tube headers dump into a great-sounding exhaust system with Flowmaster mufflersand#44; while a TH350 3-speed automatic handles gear swaps and feeds a rugged 12-bolt rear end. Body-colored floorsand#44; satin black suspension componentsand#44; and a new gas tank make it look highly detailed underneathand#44; and traction bars are probably a necessity at this point. Fresh Rally wheels wearing recent Toyo radials give it an awesome old-school stance thats ready to rumble. Great colorsand#44; big powerand#44; awesome pedigreeand#44; and lots of options.
